"Fried Ricin" is a hard-hitting modern metal track that boldly tackles the complexities of modern protest and hypocrisy. The song explores how certain groups fervently criticize others—preaching against injustice yet embodying similar behaviors and mindsets. With raw intensity, the lyrics challenge listeners to confront the uncomfortable truth that those who protest may not be as different from those they oppose as they believe. The pulsating riffs and powerful vocals mirror the emotional turmoil of this duality, creating a striking contrast between fervent ideals and the reality of human nature.

The Book of Revelation is an example of apocalyptic literature, and the beast it refers to is almost certainly Nero, or Neron. Understood this way, and not as a prophecy of something to come, the figure of the beast becomes even more terrifying; it exists over and over again, throughout history. This song is a song of protest, and it asks, if the beast was indeed Nero, then who’s the new Nero, now?
